3 Properties of the nuclei: mass, radius & density Scattering experiments following the Rutherford experiment show that we can model the nucleus as a sphere with radius of R : 1/3 R= R0 A Where A is the nucleon number or mass number and it is the nearest whole number to the mass of the nucleous in atomic mass unit (amu or u for short). 27 1u = (28) 10 kg 15 R0 is an experimentally determined constant R0 = m= 1.2 fm m p = mass of proton m = mass of n utron 1 u Calculating nuclear density: n m Au Au 3 u ρ = = = = =constant 3 V /3 πr 4 π 0 ( R0 A ) 4 π R 3 3 Nuclear density is independent of the type of material. Example: Mass of iron nucleus is 56. Calculate its nuclear radius, approximate mass, and density. Spring 2010 PHYS 53 Eradat SJSU 3
4 Nuclides & isotopes The basic building blocks of the nucleus: 27 Z : atomic number = number of protons mp = u = kg = = = 27 N : neutron number number of neutrons mn u kg 31 For a neutral atom number of electrons = Z m = u = kg A: the nucleun number of mass number A= Z + N e Isotopes: are the atoms with same atomic number Z but different neutron number N Chemical properties of the matter are determined by its electrons which is determined by Z. Isotopes are the same material from chemical point of view. Physical properties of the material such as melting/boiling point, diffusion rate, etc. change with their atomic mass or A We represent the atoms with their chemical symbol with atomic number and atomic mass as follows: Atomic mass A atomic number Symbol Z C A is usually a good approximation for the atomic mass.

7 Nuclear binding and nuclear force What do you think of the relationship between E & E 1 +E 2 +E 3? Why the nucleus should exist instead of the individual nucleons? E < E1 + E2 + E3 Lower energy and more stability is the key for any reaction and nuclear reactions are not exceptional. We define the nuclear binding energy: ( ) E = Z m c + m c + Nm c Mc A 2 B p e n Z E = ZM + Nm M c > ing; < 0 no bonding A 2 B ( H n Z ) 0 bond Where M H = mp + me Is it OK to use M = m + m?

8 Example: Binding energy/nucleon Find the binding energy per nucleon of the 62 Ni if its neutral atomic mass is u ( A ) 2 E = ZM + Nm M c B H n Z A We have Ni so Z = 28; A = 62 & N = A Z = 34; M = u; 8 27 M H = u; mn = u; c = m/ s; 1u = kg Use the exact value MeV uc = 931.5MeV c = u E B B B = ( ZM + Nm A M ) c 2 H n Z ( ) E = u+ u u E = MeV!!! > 0 so this atom can be stable. Keep the energies in units of ev for nuclear physics. E / nucleon= E / A= MeV / 62 B B E / nucleon = MV MeV / nucleoon?!!! B Compare this to the atomic binding energies.

10 The nuclear force The nuclear force binds the protons to protons despite of the Coulomb repulsion. It belongs to the category of the strong forces Does not depend on the charge and both neutrons and protons are bound the same way. It is a very short range force ~10 15 m (otherwise very large nuclei would be possible to form) There is a saturation property due to the very short range similar to covalent bonding. There is pairing between the nucleons of opposite spin and pairing of pairs like alpha particles (protons and neutrons are spin 1/2 particles or they are fermions). Much stronger than the electrical forces (otherwise the nucleus would fall apart). We don t have a clear picture of inside of the nuclei We gain some insight by studying simple models such as liquid drop or shell model. Spring 2010 PHYS 53 Eradat SJSU 10
11 Liquid drop model (1928 George Gamow) Based on the observation that all the nuclei have almost the same density. The nuclei are hold together similar to the molecules of a liquid drop with short-range interactions and surface-tension effects. Consider the following contributions to the binding energy: 1) Saturation: an individual nucleon interacts only with few of its nearest neighbors E = CA. S 1 2) Surface effect: the nucleons on the surface are less tightly bound than interior ones. surface 2 2 1/3 2/3 0 2 Reduction Surface E R = C R A = C A 4 π 4π ( ) ( Z ) 3) Coulomb force: every one of Z pronons repels 1 other protons with a force proportional to ( ) Z ( Z ) 2 Z Z 1) 1 1/ R E = Coulomb C C3 1/3 potential 4πε R = A 0 Reduction Spring 2010 PHYS 53 Eradat SJSU 11
12 Liquid drop model (1928 George Gamow) II 4) The most stable muclei are the ones with balanced number of neutrons and protons. As nuclei depart from this rule a negative energy term is introduced to the Based on experimental data E ( ) = ( ) balance N Z / A C A 2 Z / A 5) Pairing: nuclear force favors pairing of protons and neutrons. Pairing energy is experimentally determined Epairing =± CA -4/3 5. It is + for both N & Z even and for both N & Z odd and zero otherwise. E B. Spring 2010 PHYS 53 Eradat SJSU 12

16 The shell model Using the central-field ld approximation, we assume each nucleon moving in a averaged-out potential field of all other nucleons. Due to short-range nature of the nuclear forces this may not work but it explaoins many properties of the nuclei surprisingly well. The potential field is approximated by a 3D square potential well. We put that together with the potential for the mutual repulsion of the protons. We can solve the Schrodinger equation and find the energy levels, shells and subshells. Spring 2010 PHYS 53 Eradat SJSU 16
17 The shell model and the magic numbers The central field approximation in atomic model successfully explained the chamical stability of the inert gasses as those atoms with complete shell. Z = 2,10,16,18,36,54 Nuclear structure exhibits a comparable effect with different atomic numbers called magic numbers: ZorN= 2,8, 20, 28,50,82, The reason for the difference is the difference in the potential-energy function and also a much stronger spin-orbit interaction in the nuclear structure. Nuclei with both N and Z equal to a magic number are called doubly magic nucleides. Magic and doubly magic nucleides have: a) unusually high number of stable eisotopes, b) zero nuclear spin, c) filled-shell or sub-shell, d) large jump in E B compared to their neighbors. Spring 2010 PHYS 53 Eradat SJSU 17
18 Nuclear stability and radioactivity Segre chart ( ) 2500 known nuclides 300 stable nuclides Radioactive nuclides: unstable nuclides emit particles and EM radiation to become stable. The process can take from microseconds to billions of years. Segrechartshows the stable nuclides as a function of N and Z. The blue lines are the A=constant lines. Only 4 stable odd odd nuclides exist. Extreme stability of the doubly magic 4 2He prevents A=5 A5 and A=8 nuclides from existence. Stable nuclides are shifted above N=Z line for higher A. Neutrons provide some shielding of the strong proton proton repulsion li Stable nuclides in this area are prevented by strong protonproton repulsion Spring 2010 PHYS 53 Eradat SJSU 18
19 3 D version of the Segre chart Unstable nuclides with higher A and higher N/Z ratio decay to lighter nuclides with balanced N to Z ration closer to one. In the process neutrons convert to protons and 90% of the known nuclides (2500) are radioactive and they decay to lighter and more stable nuclides through the processes such as processes α decay β decay γ decay Spring 2010 PHYS 53 Eradat SJSU 19
20 Alpha decay 4 An α particle is He nucleus with two protons and two neutrons with total spin of zero. The nuclei that t are too large to exist can reduce their A by α emission. i The nuclear reaction has to satisfy several conservation laws (can you name them?). A+ B C+ D+ Energy A A A A Z Z Z Z A B C D A B C D Mass-Energy conservation: γ M c + γ M c = γ M c + γ M c ; E = γmc = K + mc A A B B C C D D total We need to decide if relativistic or classical treatment is needed for a given situation * 4 -decay 88 Ra 86 Rn + Kd + 2 He + Kα Note: M p > M d + Mα to have α possible. Mp M d M α 7 VHe = m/ s = 0.05c KEnr = mv = J = 4.8MeV What is the mechanism of escape? Spring 2010 PHYS 53 Eradat SJSU 20
21 There are three types of β decay: Beta decay Beta-minus β (electron): n p+ β + νe happens whenever N / Z is too large; AA AA Z A ; A Z C+ β + ν A 1 e + Energy M p > M + d + + Beta-plus β (positron): p n+ β + νe happens whenever N / Z is too small; AA AA + Z A C+ + ν + Energy ; M M > 2m A Z β A 1 e p d e Electron capture: p+ β n+ νe happens whenever N / Z is too small; + β is energetically not possible AA AA Z A A Z C+ ν A 1 e + Energy; M p > M d The electron is usually captured from the K shell Important t for β decay: m = u > m = u n The nutrino ν and anti-nutrino ν are particle-antiparticle pairs with little mass e e and no charge. Very difficult to detect (detected by Raines & Cowan in 1953). p Spring 2010 PHYS 53 Eradat SJSU 21
22 Gamma decay γ -rays are high-energy photons 10KeV-5MeV emitted from the nuclei that are in excited state or undergoing nuclear reactions. This is simmilar to emission from the atoms when they relax from an excited state to the ground state. The difference is in magnitude of the energy of each emitted photon which depands on the spacing of the energy levels. Spring 2010 PHYS 53 Eradat SJSU 22
23 Natural radioactivity Reactions on the Segre chart We have all kinds of heavy nuclei from the time of formation of stars and planets. All the unstable ones are in the process of decaying into stable ones. Some of these processes are very slow. Example: Segre chart of 238 U decay series terminating with stable nuclide 206 Pb. Note the hlfli half lives (blue fonts) Spring 2010 PHYS 53 Eradat SJSU 23
24 Activities & half lives Rate of decay of a radioactive nucleon is not affected by any chemical or physical environmental effects. It is a totally random phenomenon. We analyze it with statistical techniques.
